"We are extremely proud to be supporting a local club throughout the course of the season, and moving forward," said Imps vice-chairman Roger Bates.

"It's fantastic to be given the opportunity to partner a huge part of the local community, and we're grateful to [United chairman] Rob Bradley and everyone at Lincoln United for allowing us to do so."

The link-up came about following talks between Bradley and Imps chief executive Liam Scully and chairman Clive Nates.

Writing in his Chairman’s Diary column for this week’s Lincolnshire Echo, Bradley said: “A real high took place at the start of this week when our illustrious Imps neighbours expressed their support of us and their wish that we work in partnership.

“We have quietly been doing this for some time and I have enjoyed pleasant and fruitful meetings with Clive Nates and Liam Scully.

“Of course we have our City United friendly to come during the season and the Imps now have an excellent sign at The Sun Villas and Resorts Stadium, citing their support for Lincoln United.

“The Imps have also highlighted our home match on Wednesday, October 3 against Frickley Athletic as an opportunity for all City fans to come along and see some rip-roaring football and cheer on their non-league neighbours.

“All Imps season ticket holders get a healthy discount too so let’s hope we get a good gate and it’s an entertaining game.

“I suspect, after last season, it won’t be for the faint-hearted. You have been warned.

“We will also welcome a group from Lady Imps Supporters’ Association that night and hope they enjoy their Ashby Avenue experience.”

The Whites travel to Pickering Town tonight before hosting Carlton Town on Saturday.
